The wage trend is analyzed by gender and sector (business and non-business sector). Our analyses practically show a permanent increase for all analyzed categories of ICT professions growth during 2000-2008 (economic boom). After the year 2008, the wages in ICT professions stagnated, with the exception of the wages of ICT managers, and the real wages of ICT technicians actually dropped. Our analysis proved the impact of the sector (ICT) and gender on the average real wage in the Czech Republic.
